Hhhmmm
I guess this would depend on what you like to do. Again, another subjective answer....ok..so let slook at it and see what the real choice.
If yo have an "engineering" type mind. Then trig is probably very easy for you. It is in a field you enjoy and would probably make a lot of sense to you. You might even jump to calc from trig - just for the fun of it.
Stats is for the analytical type mind. This subject would be very easy for someone who wants to drive. Stats prooves data speaks for itself and can be used to drive an organization into a certain direction. Anyone with this type of mind would likely go on to take other courses in the same area as it becomes eaiser for them the more they play with it...most of these people will end up in the Six Sigma field somewhere.
For those of us who are neither engineers or analytical type - both subject really suck and hard to deal with. We would stay away from the like the plague - LOL

Generally, I would say that statistics is more complicated, hence more difficult, than trigonometry but statistics is also more useful in everyday life to nontechnical people. Trigonometry will be more useful in the (wood and metal) shop, engineering, and for those branches and levels of mathematics and science in which you will need calculus.

Well,it depends on your strengths really and the tutor's as well.I enjoyed trigonometry more coz it involved playing around with "puzzles" and came up a lot in different topics of my math syllabus.Statistic's popularity mainly controlled by tutor's capability as it needs comprehensive understanding of some sort.Otherwise stats can be fairly easy as well.

The subject you know the least about will be the more difficult.

It depends on how your brain is wired. If you have a good sense of shapes, trig will be easier. If your good with memorization and lists, statistics will be easier.

the level of difficulty would depend on the qualities of your brain and the abilities of your teacher.

Trig I find is easier but stats is more rewarding.
